Clementine Arrived

Last December 22, 2011, my Project Life kit arrived from Singapore, courtesy of Scraplicious.  I was ecstatic, although I had to pay an arm and a leg for it (I'll explain more on these later), it was totally worth it.

I got the Clementine Kit.




It was a difficult decision to make at first.  I wanted the Amber Edition since I first saw it months ago on Becky Higgins Blog.  But, I have boys so I thought about the Turquoise Edition instead.  When the Clementine and Cobalt Editions became available, the process became more difficult.  I wanted both editions too.  But, I had to be realistic and just choose one collection or risk spending our Milk Budget.

I love the color blue, but decided that the Cobalt Edition was too dark.  So, I had to decide between Amber, Clementine and Turquoise.  The kits were available at the Singapore store already and I still haven't decided.  The special promo offer was almost ending and I was still flip-flopping over the colors that I wanted.  But, time was of the essence.  I have to decide or 2012 will come without my Project Life.

So, I thought, what will my Project Life 2012 be about?  It's my first Project Life and I wanted it to be as fun as I wanted.  Upon further thinking I realized that as much as I wanted it to be about my family, I wanted it to be about ME too.

I wanted my colors to be sunny and bright.  I want 2012 to be a positive year, one that is full of hope and great perspective.  A year that will be inspiring as I embark on becoming a better person and a better year, quality-wise, than last year.  Yes, I absolutely love the color BLUE, but I want a palette that had more reds, oranges and yellows.  So, now it became a toss-up between Amber and Clementine.

When I was about to order... Amber sold out.

So, the Fates chose for me.  Clementine won.

PS:  Clementine has some nice blues on its palette too that would go with my boys' (a 9-month old and a toddler) pictures... so I did not feel bad at all. :-)
